Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Chapter 86 Those who attain the Tao will help

The sun rose as usual, shining on the blue sea, between the dark yellow sandstones, and on the blood-stained mountain road.

After a surprise counterattack last night, the Riverbenders retook the ridge.

On that not-so-spacious mountain road, wooden fences were erected and trenches dug overnight, just waiting for the Dornishmen to attack again.

On the other hand, on Dorne's side, once the results of many days of hard work were lost, morale was inevitably severely hit.

Coupled with the fact that the reinforcements from the river bend had arrived, many Dornish soldiers began to feel that the pier in front of them might have no hope of conquering it.

Fortunately, Princess Arianne had just made the middle and high level of the army unify their understanding and made an oath, so no one dared to retreat lightly.

But even so, she knew that if nothing was done, the morale of the army would continue to drop, and the pier in front of her might become a fortress that could never be conquered.

And if it goes on like this, it's obviously not good for Dawn.

After all, they are the offensive side, and the loss is greater.

What's more, Hewan is already richer than Dorne. If it really becomes a protracted war of attrition, Dorne will be dragged down sooner or later.

Must be resolved quickly!

Princess Arianne's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the knights in front of her, and finally settled on Geraldine of High Hidden City.

"Sir Gerald, please lead the attack today!"

"Yes! Your Highness!" Jie Luo responded loudly without hesitation.

"Sir Ulrich, please take charge of the second round of attack."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Sir Penrose, you are in charge of the third round."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

…

After arranging the order of attack, all the knights were about to take orders to leave, but they didn't expect Princess Arianne to speak again, and the words were astonishing:

"Everyone, please take turns attacking in this order, non-stop day and night! Until the Hewan people are completely driven out of our territory!"

"Non-stop day and night?" Someone couldn't help exclaiming, "Your Highness, do you want to continue attacking at night?"

"That's right!" Princess Arianne's tone was as hard as the gravel in Dorne, "We can't give the people of the River Bend any chance to breathe!"

"but…"

"This is my final decision!" Princess Arianne interrupted forcefully without waiting for the man to finish speaking, "Could it be that you forgot your previous oath so soon?"

At this time, Geraldine stepped forward and said loudly:

"I support His Highness's decision!"

Immediately, the knights of the Uller family echoed loudly:

"We support His Highness's decision!"

Then the knights of House Bremont...

Seeing that more and more knights are on the side of Princess Dorne, the remaining few who have opinions also shut their mouths and dare not say more.

"Very good!" Princess Arianne yanked out her blood-stained sword and ordered like a queen, "My knights, please prove your valor with the blood of your enemies! Please show your glory with a glorious victory." glory!"

"For His Royal Highness Arianne!" Gerald Dayne was the first to draw out his long sword, roaring at the top of his lungs.

More people also responded one after another:

"For Your Highness Arianne!"

"For Your Highness Arianne!"

…

Drums of war sounded, and the Dornishmen attacked again.

And this time, they were even more aggressive.

However, since the people of Hewan had reinforcements and the famous general Lando Tully was in command, they responded more calmly.

The brutal fighting continued from day to dusk, but even after dark, the Dornishmen continued to attack with torches.

Samwell stood behind the fence, watching the Dornish soldiers in the flames coming one after another, and couldn't help sighing:

"These Dornish people are really crazy."

"The beast before death is the craziest." Earl Landau dismissed this.

Samwell is not as confident as his father. Night battles are always the most prone to accidents. In the first battle with the savages on Yingzui Island, the number one Huya warrior almost killed him.

"The commander opposite is Arianne Martell?" Earl Landau asked.

"Yes."

"I didn't expect that Doran Martell, who is so good at forbearance, would give birth to such a fiery daughter." Earl Randyll pulled an inexplicable smile from the corner of his mouth, "The gods always like to mock the world in this way."

Samwell couldn't help but glanced at his father, he always felt that Earl Randyll had something to say.

"If no one on the other side stops that girl, then Dorne has already lost this war." Earl Randall's tone revealed strong confidence.

"Father, the Dornishmen are pressing us to fight now." Samwell was not so confident, "Even if there will be reinforcements from Brightwater City in the future, our strength is far inferior to the Dornishmen."

"When will more people win?" Earl Landau curled his lips in disdain.

Seeing his son still hesitating when he looked back, Earl Randall explained:

"She abandoned the most powerful tactics of the Dornish people, and instead fought in the way she was least good at. Hehe, she really asked for her own death."

After finishing speaking, Earl Randle turned around and left.

Samwell pondered what his father said, and finally came to his senses.

Indeed, frontal attack is really the combat method that Dornish people are least good at.

The real strength of the Dornish people lies in harassing guerrillas.

The "Conqueror" Aegon Targaryen conquered the six kingdoms with the dragon, but he failed only in Dorne. The reason is that the Dornish people are really strong enough to resist the dragon?

of course not.

Back then, the flames of the dragon almost reduced all the cities in Dorne to ashes, but the Dornish people never confronted the dragon head-on, but hid in the vast deserts, mountains, and forests, constantly attacking and harassing them. After nine years of tenacious struggle, the Targaryen family finally had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

This is what is really scary about the Dornish people.

They are like poisonous snakes in the desert, stealthy and dangerous, always giving the enemy a fatal blow when they are most slack.

But now, under the command of Princess Arianne, they charged like a pack of mad dogs.

Thinking of this, Samwell completely relaxed, turned around and followed his father's footsteps, and decided to go back to rest.

…

In the next few days, the Dornish people's non-stop attack was indeed fruitful. They successfully captured more than a dozen defense lines of the Reach people, and it seemed that they were one step closer to completely driving the Reach people out of the Summer Sea.

And in the past few days, more reinforcements from the river bay have also arrived one after another.

The Florens family, the Redwyne family, the Mullendall family, the Cue family...Samwell was very excited when he saw the ships almost filling the port.

This should be called more help by the Taoist!

Sir Caesar thought triumphantly, pretending not to know that these are actually his creditors.

With reinforcements, Samwell is ready to implement his plan of "Surprise Attack on High Hidden City".

This plan has also been unanimously approved by the leaders who came to support. Of course, these people mainly decided to follow the boss because Lando Tully also agreed with this plan.

In the end, it was decided that Lando Tarly and Samwell Caesar would lead the most elite 4,000 troops to carry out the plan, and Aleken Florent would command the remaining nearly 2,000 people to stay to defend the pier and attract the attention of the Dornish people. .

In order to conceal, the division plan will be carried out in the middle of the night.

And in order to prevent the Dornish people from becoming suspicious when they saw the sudden drop in the number of people at the dock, Samwell also specially transferred a group of wildling laborers from Yingzui Island to make up the number.

Finally, after everything was ready, on a starry night, a troop transport fleet escorted by the Qingting Island fleet left the pier and went upstream along the Turbulent River.
